I have been using 3M Perfect it II. After wet sanding. What is anyone else using and your experience? gjs

I am building my second Harley and all the parts on thus one are plastic or fiber glass. My first one, a deuce, was all metal. The quality of the plastic molded pieces and fiberglass parts are excellent quality but, to insure maximum adhesion I have used the promoter. I applied 3 coats of black...

It is quite dirty in both pictures and cleans up nicely. Still... considering... I will post a picture of the deck

My Sun Ray is 24'. Never stays in the water more than a couple days. She's 24'

Read with great interest! I want to paint my Sun Ray. It is in excellent condition, very few nicks/dings and so forth. The graphics are outdated and the main reason for the repaint. I was simply going to use epoxy primer, then single stage white or even base/clear. Opinions and options are...

My little S10 V8 conversion got it's SPI bedliner yesterday. Great stuff! 3 coats in about an hour and a half. Applied over 2 coats of SPI black epoxy. It took me a day to prep (80 grit) and clean the bed, mask and cover up then apply the epoxy Tuesday. Shot the bedliner yesterday.

I can't seem to delete it either! Got it from my sister in law...

I would scuff it with gray scotchbrite, solvent clean it with wax and grease remover and shoot 3 coats of epoxy.

That usually happens when I let someone else use my gun. I have learned to clean them when returned.

I agree, Jim. Leave a rag with laquer thinner on it on your new car and watch what happens. If you have to clean anything off, I would use wax and grease remover. Gently. .

For those of us who have never used the Turbo primer, Barry, what are the pros and cons. Should I use Turbo instead of High Build? Particularly in restoration work. I am going to be ordering quite a bit of epoxy in the next day or two. Should I add a kit of Turbo?

Do you have any difficulty with your paper gumming up in rose fine grits when Sandi.g dry?

This has been a "relearning experience" for an old guy. I have never been one to cut corner and, I am usually skeptical of "new" things over tried and true methods. Clearly this is not a Universal clear problem, Bob. I was perplexed in the beginning of this thread. When you consider how much I...

I must admit, this is the first time I have had this kind of problem but, recognize that is largely my fault. Not only did I use the 1500 but, I over used it. I made 6 to 8 section passes assuming the 3000 would remove them. I overused the 3000 and realize now it is good for 1 panel or...

Thanks, shine. I will order one. Still no problem with the heat build up?

Thanks, Shine. After reading your post, I ordered some. Want to use up the 3M stuff, too. old soul, it is a Porter Cable DA. Has worked for me well in the past. Any recommendations on a rotary?

Thanks, Jim. I make overlapping passes with each grit in 2 passes. I made at least 4 passes with the 1500 with no foam interface (yes... trizact blue film with water) and I did, indeed, do the whole car with 2 3000 pads with foam interface. 2 pads of 5000, as well. I will go over it again with...

I have been unable to get to my shop for a couple of months but, am "back in the saddle" as is said. As some might recall, I shot SPI Universal clear on my '65 Barracuda and, 64 Fury back in the fall. The sprayability and gloss of the Universal clear are excellent even when compared to the PPG...

I have had so many difficulties with mustang parts suppliers. As bad as aftermarket parts are as a rule, it seems mustang parts are the worse you can get. I will be interested in who you end up with for parts, SOF. I have a 64 1/2 vert, a '66 vert and a '90 vert in my shop now.
